Wind Release (風遁, Fūton, English TV: Wind Style) is one of the five basic elemental nature transformations. It is performed by making chakra as sharp and thin as possible. Wind Release is mainly short to mid-ranged offensive techniques that combine brute force and keen precision to deal cutting and slashing damage. A rarity among the five chakra natures, wind techniques are usually performed by generating air circulation and can be enhanced through this method as well. Wind-natured chakra can also be channeled into blades to increase their cutting power and overall range.

C-Rank Fuuton Jutsu

Name: Fuuton: Reppushou [Wind Release: Gale Palm]Rank: CRange: Medium [20m]Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost:Description: A simple technique whereby when the user clasps their hands together, wind is compressed and transformed into a powerful gale. This technique, when used as an isolated attack, has the power to easily knock over a human. Though the true value comes from using it together with projectile weapons like shuriken or kunai. Their speed, power, and ability to wound or even kill are all increased several times.

Name: Fuuton: Daitoppa [Wind Release: Great Breakthrough]Rank: CRange:Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost: Medium [25m]Description: The Wind Release: Great Breakthrough is a technique that creates a gust of wind, whose scale and usage varies depending on the user. If used by a superior shinobi, it has enough destructive power to knock down a large tree. The wind from the squall can blow away all things in the user's line of sight. The technique can also be used in the form of a devastation stream of wind expelled from the user's mouth. There is also a variation of the technique involves a smaller blast of wind which gets ignited with flame.

Name: Kamaitachi no Jutsu [Sickle Weasel Technique]Rank: CRange: Medium [20m]Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost:Description: Using this technique the user freely manipulates the air in front of them, usually using their hands a fan or something else to create the initial air flow, before the jutsu causes it to become many air currents which collide and create vacuum pockets. The person enveloped by this induced gale is assaulted by countless invisible blades, carving up their body. Also, the strong wind power will blow away all incoming projectile weapons and will even make the opponent unable to stay on their feet. Advanced users have also shown the ability to manipulate the form of the gale, creating a tornado to envelop and lift an opponent, while also cutting them several times. Masters are skilled and accurate enough to cut away the armor of a samurai without injuring the wearer.

Name: Fuusajin no Jutsu [Dust Wind Technique]Rank: CRange: Far [30m]Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost:Description: The user generates a gust of wind usually with a fan and layers the surrounding area in a blast of sand, dirt, and other small debris. This layer of debris accumulates on nearby trees and other surfaces making it much more difficult for others to get a good footing, and the initial gust can temporarily blind opponents by lodging the debris at their eyes.

Name: Wind Release: Spiralling Wind BallRank: CRange: Medium [15m]Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost:Description: This technique allows the user to breathe wind-infused chakra into the palm of their hand, shaping it into a small, whirlwind-like ball.

Name: Daikamaitachi no Jutsu [Great Sickle Weasel Technique]Rank: BRange: Far [30m]Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost:Description: This technique is a more powerful version of the Sickle Weasel Technique: many air currents collide to create vacuum pockets that slashes the opponents, with enough power to slice down many trees in a forest.

Name: Fuuton: Atsugai [Wind Release: Pressure Damage]Rank: BRange: Medium [20m]Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost:Description: This tornado-like mass is compressed until it has a very high density and is then released. The wind pressure is raised to its highest limit, and once the technique hits the target, the resulting blast sweeps everyone off their feet. If the technique is used by someone who has mastered wind nature transformation, the blast can hit a vast range, inflicting massive damage on both the target and their close surroundings. This technique can be combined with the Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work, to increase the flame's potency in a great scale, causing a massive fire-storm.

Name: Fuuton: Kazekiri no Jutsu [Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique]Rank: BRange: Medium [15m]Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost:Description: Using their chakra or a ninja tool such as a war fan to manipulate or create an external source of wind, the user can create one to several blades of wind, which are capable of slicing through their target with ease.

Name: Fuuton: Shinkuugyoku [Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere]Rank: BRange: Medium [15m]Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost:Description: The user takes a deep breath and then exhales several small blasts of wind chakra in such a manner that they are dispersed over an expansive range, enough to make it difficult to avoid them entirely without taking any damage. Due to the properties of this technique, the expelled blasts are capable of piercing into and potentially through an opponent's flesh when they collide with it.

Name: Wind Release: Vacuum WaveRank: BRange: Medium [10m]Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost:Description: The user takes a deep breath and spins while exhaling, compressing the released air into a solitary blade of wind that covers a substantial area around the user, due to their circular motion. The resulting sharpened blast is large enough to slice through multiple targets located at a significant distance from the user, causing grievous injuries to those hit.

A-Rank Fuuton Jutsu

Name: Juuha Reppu Shou [Beast Tearing Gale Palm]Rank: A Range: Medium [20m]Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost:Description: This technique is somewhat of an enhanced version of the Beast Tearing Palm. It uses chakra to infuse with and condense a mass amount of wind-chakra to form a massive demonic-like claw extending from the user's hand to strike and grab a target, as well as deflect any weapon or attack. Depending on its use, the user can manipulate the size and length of the claw to attack and defend at any range. In addition to making it a deadly weapon, the extending claw also carries tremendous force that can devastate anything in its path without affecting the user, making it useful for dislodging solid and heavy objects.

Name: Kaze no taiba [Blade of Wind]Rank: A Range: Medium [15m]Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost:Description: A pinpoint slashing strike, where the user emits wind-based chakra from their fingertips and materialises it into an near invisible blade that assaults the enemy in a gust of wind, leaving their body mutilated.

Name: Fuuton: Tatsu no Oushigoto [Wind Release: Great Task of the Dragon]Rank: A Range: Far [30m]Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost:Description: The user creates a current of wind which descends upon the target as a giant tornado. This technique can be set up as a feint, as it has a delayed activation of one post. The technique alters weather conditions temporarily and attacks from the sky rather than from the person. The storm clouds that create the attack dissipate immediately after the tornado begins, while the tornado continues in a highly concentrated state.

Name: Fuuton: Kakeami [Wind Release: Cast Net]Rank: A Range: Meidum [25m]Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost:Description: The user creates multiple narrow currents of wind that form a large net of sorts. The winds generated from this technique are extremely sharp and powerful enough to inflict massive damage to several targets at once. The technique can also be performed with the aid of shadow clones.

Name: Fuuton: Kami Oroshi [Wind Release: Divine Mountain Wind]Rank: A Range: Medium [20m]Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost:Description: This technique creates a vortex of wind to blast at a target. It can be used in a combo with the Fire Release: Running Fire and the Earth Release: Earth Corridor to release a massive inferno at the opponents while they are trapped within the confined space of the earth.

Name: Fuuton: Shinkuu Taigyoku [Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere]Rank: A Range: Far [40m]Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost:Description: A stronger version of the Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere technique, where the user instead chooses to compress the entirety of the previously inhaled breath into a single large, crushing sphere of wind chakra that they then proceed to expel from their mouth.

S-Rank Fuuton Jutsu

Name: Wind Release: RasenshurikenRank: SRange: Far [30m]Jutsu Type: NinjutsuElemental Affinity: FuutonCost:Description: Unlike the Wind Release: Rasengan, additional shape transformation is applied to the Rasenshuriken, creating four large points around the central Rasengan core, giving the appearance of a fūma shuriken. The technique is so complicated that users generally require aid from clones in order to perform the technique, though can master it enough to do so without assistance. Rasenshuriken require a great deal of chakra to perform and, once formed, the Rasenshuriken gives off a loud screeching noise. Its four points are very sharp, enough to cut through rock and even a Bijuu's tail. After travelling a certain distance or colliding with a target that it can't slice through, the central sphere of the Rasenshuriken detonates, producing a vortex of wind in the immediate area. Within this vortex, countless microscopic wind blades are created, so many that even the Sharingan can't count them all. The wind blades damage anything within the vortex on a cellular level, attacking the chakra circulatory system to such a degree that no amount of medical ninjutsu can heal it. Most Medical ninja likens the damage to poison, and warns that if the damage is great enough, those affected by it won't be able to use jutsu again.
